Uh...what? You said you got the NOA's but then you said you didn't get the email NOAs. Then you said the hard copies are on their way. So what exactly did you get? I'm confused.

Its October. Still within normal processing time. Not time to be worried yet. Just hang in there y'all.

in general, doing an early walk-in does speed things up. if you had waited for your original appointment date, you probably would have had an extra three weeks for your entire process from filing to receiving the GC. don't lose hope just yet!

Early walk in for bio sometimes speed up the process but not always. I've read somewhere on here in the past where an IO told someone that some people process is shorter than some for security reasons..( not idea what they mean by that)

My local office is Santa Ana, Orange County, Ca.

As I am doing the Opt, i do not submit for the EAD, only I 485 & I 130. I did check online and see that my I485 is updated when any notice is issued. Auctually, I see my I 485 is updated to "test and interview" one day before my actual biometric appointment. Thus, i believe in my case, walk-in biometricreally speed up the process

Don't stress up yourself of the interview you will be just fine.What I've heard from people make sure you have sufficient documentation that supports your application.Good luck!
